Quote:'World's first cyborg' with antenna in skull says 'government recognizes him as half-robot'

A British-born man who claims he's the world's first official cyborg after having an antenna implanted into his skull - has said he is the first of many.

Colour-blind Neil Harbisson made the declaration to crowds at the World Government Summit in Dubai.

The self-declared "cyborg artist" claims that his British passport photo shows him with his antenna sticking from his head meaning the UK government accepts that the device is part of him - and recognises him as a cyborg .

He added that that governments around the world now need to accept that there will soon be more people with technological rather than organic body parts.
